This useful worksheet has been created to support your students when learning about choosing appropriate units of measurement for length, area, volume, capacity and mass. Students colour code to match the units of measurement with the measurement type and then draw lines to match the correct unit of measurement for each scenario displayed.
Choose appropriate units of measurement for length, area, volume, capacity and mass
Choose appropriate metric units when measuring the length, mass and capacity of objects; use smaller units or a combination of units to obtain a more accurate measure
Choose appropriate units of measurement for length, area, volume, capacity and mass
